Welcome back to the DLF Mailbag, the preeminent mailbag in all the dynasty fantasy football land. In case you missed it, the June ADP is now live. And as with each of the past several months, I’m left scratching my head for the exact same reason. Just why is Colston Loveland going so far ahead of Tyler Warren ? I’m sure I sound like a Loveland hater at this point, which I can confidently state isn’t an attempt to invent some sort of “brand.” As has been said numerous times when it comes to dynasty assets, more often than not you don’t hate the player, but rather you hate the value. And to that point, Loveland is going off the board as the dynasty TE3 with an ADP of 22.7, while Warren is going 1.5 rounds later as the TE4 with an ADP of 40.8. As we all know, Loveland closed the season strong and then had the benefit of the playoffs to continue showcasing his talents. Meanwhile, Warren started off hot and was then forced to corral targets from a literal unretired grandpa, as well as a rookie sixth-round pick. But when Daniel Jones was under center, Warren was scoring an additional 5.2 PPR points per game. Warren’s 12.2 PPR points per game with Jones at quarterback weren’t massive, but they also weren’t too far off the pace Sam LaPorta set as a rookie when he finished as the PPR TE1 (13.8 PPR points per game). This is without mentioning LaPorta was playing on a significantly better Detroit offense and scoring the ball at a much better clip. With recent rumors asserting the Colts expect more out of him as a sophomore, and when remembering that he was in fact the top 2025 rookie fantasy tight end, there may still be opportunity here for top-end production at a relatively lesser cost, even if it means you’re standing on the tracks in front of the Loveland hype train. As a reminder, there are multiple ways to pose your burning questions! You can send me a tweet on Twitter/X ( @EDH_27 ), and you can also reach out using our Discord channel, or the old-fashioned way ( via our online webform ). Let’s get to it! From the old-school webform… Extending the Olave Branch Which side do you prefer for a championship team in a 12-team, PPR league – Malik Nabers and a 2027 third-round pick, or Chris Olave , Tee Higgins and Bhayshul Tuten ? – Shawn in PA This seems about right to me. On one hand, it’s a classic example of a consolidation deal, where one team is giving up the majority of lower-tiered assets in order to nab the highest valued player. On the other hand, these aren’t just any additive pieces – both Olave and Higgins have strong track records of production, albeit uneven, and Tuten has been considered a value riser since the inception of the new year, as shown below. Starting with Tuten, and at the risk of being labeled a gold-tier member of the Player Hater’s Club given my Loveland diatribe in the introduction to this week’s edition, I’m still fading him at cost. To be clear, a status as a low-end dynasty RB2 isn’t elite capital, and there’s a reason why he’s the lowest-valued asset in the proposed deal. Still, it’s not nothing either, as the second-year runner is now going off the board in the sixth round of startup drafts. The flip side of this paradigm is a little something called “opportunity.” We are currently in late June, weeks away from the commencement of the first NFL training camp. Continuing, Tuten has created positive buzz at the team’s recent minicamp, while off-season signee Chris Rodriguez was sidelined by injury. What this mea…
